Chapter 1639: Ye Tian Emperor Unmatched

The Dark Continent trembled. What kind of madman was that? He made the Dao Ancestor speechless, who simply turned around and... sped away in a sky-high escape, never looking back.

At this moment, Cang Qing's heart pounded. He didn't know why, but he felt a deep sense of dread and unease. What was happening?

He hesitated, wondering if he should also flee.

As they passed the black colossal city, Nine Dao One looked at the bleeding sun in the sky, then glanced at a horrifying plant at the edge of the land. He said, "It should be ripe. We've already offended the Dark Continent anyway, so let's go pick some more fruits. When you have many debts, you don't worry about adding a few more."

With a whoosh, the formidable Dao Ancestor instantly teleported to a dark place on the Dark Continent. Here, a towering ancient tree grew, crimson and translucent, its leaves, trunk, and roots all seemingly carved from blood-red jade.

"What kind of fruit is this? Can we eat something that grows in this dark place?" Chu Feng asked.

"It's the Grand Nirvana Fruit, cultivated for countless ages, watered with the true blood of an ancient phoenix, yielding only a few dozen fruits. That ancient phoenix was of pure blood. Although this fruit is rooted here, its contamination is not severe; the wisps of strange substances can be refined away."

"However, it's not very useful for you. Every evolution you undergo is comparable to a Grand Nirvana; you are very pure, your physical body and soul light are flawless. Even the Great Universe Realm, which was supposed to decay you, couldn't stop you. So, just watch; you don't need to consume it."

Chu Feng opened his mouth. If he had known this, he wouldn't have asked. Wouldn't it have been better to just pick and eat it right away?

This time, they didn't create any more complications. They harvested all the nearly ripe fruits and vanished in an instant.

Just before leaving, Nine Dao One suddenly extended his hand, grabbing towards the black colossal city. He forcefully pulled out King Huai, then... crushed him in his hand, utterly killing him.

The blood of an Immortal King splattered everywhere, an incredibly horrifying sight.

"Oh my god!"

Many people exclaimed in shock, utterly stunned and terrified.

An Immortal King just died like that? Crushed alive in someone's hand!

In the infinitely distant depths of the Dark Continent, Cang Qing of the Hegemon Bloodline Clan turned deathly pale. He was so terrified that he broke out in a cold sweat. Had he not feared the Black-robed Dao Ancestor's reproach, and stayed outside instead of returning to his city, he too would have been crushed to death!

In fact, the most resentful was King Huai. Even before his death, he was filled with extreme indignation and unwillingness, feeling that he had been wronged beyond measure.

Besides him, the black-armored army in the city also flew backward into the sky, then exploded under the vast sky, not a single one remaining!

Then, the giant hand slowly retreated, leaving only its voice echoing: "If you enter the Heavens, then we shall return the favor!"

Soon, they returned to the Yang Realm, entering the Central Heavenly Palace in Xiazhou.

Zhou Xi immediately arrived. She breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Chu Feng safe and sound.

Chu Feng comforted her, assuring her that the trip had gone smoothly and there was nothing to worry about.

For several days, Chu Feng, Nine Dao One, Gu Qing, and others waited, watching to see if the Dark Continent or the Strange Land of Calamity would react, or if anyone would attack.

However, many days passed with calm seas and quiet winds; everything remained as it was.

Moreover, they received feedback that many powerful beings in the dark universe were stirring, seemingly migrating, and then began to hibernate. It was clear that something unknown to the Heavens was truly happening.

"There's a change! Could the source of the Land of Calamity have been breached? Has someone broken in? Is that why the Grand Sacrifice hasn't begun, and the End-of-Road beings haven't appeared?!"

This was Nine Dao One's judgment; he believed it wasn't far from the truth.

After Chu Feng returned, he stood guard for over half a month. After all, in a sense, he was considered a "high-end combatant" for their side.

Everything in the Heavens was calm; no abnormalities occurred.

Instead, the Dark Continent and some strange universes began to experience some turmoil. However, it wasn't outward expansion, and there were no signs of starting a war with the outside world.

"This is good. I'll return to the Alien Realm to consolidate my cultivation." Chu Feng left; he desperately needed time.

In the Alien Realm, he had ample time to contemplate his methods and research his future path. This world was the best place for him to go into seclusion.

Chu Feng sat quietly beneath the ancient tree, breathing in and out, consolidating his Dao Fruit. At the same time, he browsed various scriptures, contemplating all conjectures related to evolution.

In this world, another thousand years quickly passed. Chu Feng's cultivation improved somewhat, but breaking through that barrier seemed incredibly difficult!

The Dog Emperor once told him that true Red Dust Immortals needed to endure tens of thousands of years. Even those who achieved immortality through shortcuts in a short period were mostly... "Water Immortals."

"Pushing the Great Universe and the Ultimate realms to their extremes simultaneously, and eventually unifying them—that's how I become a Red Dust Immortal!"

Chu Feng stood up, knowing that Yao Yao was also on this path. However, she had already deviated from the Pollen Evolution path, drawing strengths from multiple sources.

On this day, someone intruded into the Alien Realm. It was a decaying Great Universe-level being who personally rushed to deliver a message, and he was very alarmed, telling Chu Feng that something major had happened.

In the dark lands, astonishing blood-red light shot into the sky, tearing apart multiple great universes!

"World-shaking" and "awe-inspiring" were insufficient to describe it because many ancient cultivators had never seen such a sight. Had something changed in the Strange Land?

Chu Feng emerged from seclusion, as a "high-end combatant." As someone who had once cremated a Dao Ancestor, he was qualified to be notified and to go defend.

In the Yang Realm, Xiazhou, the Central Heavenly Palace had subtly become the center of the Heavens. Immortal Kings from all paths, clan leaders from various races, and Grand Cult Masters from different orthodoxies all arrived, closely monitoring the outside world and observing some abnormal phenomena in the dark lands through precious mirrors.

It was truly astonishing; towering blood-red light tore through the space-time outside the myriad worlds, causing parts of the dark universes to crack and collapse, as if forcibly cut apart by the blood-red light itself.

However, that blood-red light was definitely not erupting from those dark continents. It had another source, seemingly blooming deep within the Land of Calamity!

The so-called Land of Calamity was the main base of the strange race. Yet for countless ages, no one had been able to find its true source.

What was now referred to as the "depths of the Land of Calamity" was merely a confirmed secondary stronghold. It should not yet be their supreme ancestral land!

However, this alone was enough to illustrate the terror of the Land of Calamity's depths. Outsiders would find it very difficult to locate, and there were certainly End-of-Road beings stationed there!

Now, through the blood-red light, through the immeasurable crimson glow like a blood phoenix undergoing nirvana, and the red light engulfing multiple universes, people realized how vast the depths of the Land of Calamity were, and roughly pinpointed its location!

It was too far, separated by Great Thousand Worlds and numerous universes. Even Immortal Kings couldn't reach it, and Dao Ancestors would feel apprehensive.

Although it was not yet the inauspicious supreme ancestral land, the fact that someone seemed to be "causing trouble" there today was enough to shock the heavens and the earth.

The Dog Emperor's expression was solemn; it had been staring intently, as if petrified, remaining completely motionless.

Suddenly, its body trembled, and its voice was unnatural. It was unclear if it was fear or excitement, but it spoke with a trembling voice: "That might be... the naturally emanating vital energy of a single person!"

What?!

People simply couldn't believe it. Even across Great Thousand Worlds, they could vaguely see parts of the terrifying sight. Were those... all caused by the vital energy of one person?

It was truly inconceivable, leaving all the Immortal Kings utterly shocked and wanting to tremble.

To what extent must one person's vital energy be powerful enough to create such a sight? The wisps of overflowing bloody mist alone had torn apart some dark universes. And one must know, that was by no means the central vortex battlefield!

Even across countless great universes, that vital energy, like crimson mist, could still surge forth, affecting the Great Thousand Worlds, causing tremors in various heavens and earths, and one could see crimson light soaring into the sky.

"Yes, that's the natural overflow of one person's vital energy!" The Corpse also trembled, unable to contain his excitement, swaying as if tipsy.

"It's too astonishing, to be powerful to such an extent!" Nine Dao One also spoke. As a Dao Ancestor, he felt incredibly insignificant at this moment, utterly incomparable.

Someone in the depths of the Land of Calamity was stirring up monstrous waves. It truly shook the past, present, and future; this was absolutely a super major event that would be recorded in history.

Around the Land of Calamity, dark universes were splitting apart and disintegrating directly.

Crack!

The vital energy surged like a torrent, surpassing galaxies, shaking the inauspicious world. Even though that place was vast and boundless, far exceeding the Heavens, crimson mist still billowed, shaking the outer dark universes.

Boom!

Furthermore, dark realms directly exploded, disintegrating in an instant.

"I..."

Even Gu Qing opened his mouth, unable to speak. His entire being was like a clay or wooden statue, frozen on the spot.

What kind of power was that? Compared to it, he was simply too insignificant to be mentioned in the same breath, not even on the same order of magnitude; the difference was too vast.

"Fist light! I saw world-beating, invincible fist light!" The Dog Emperor cried out in excitement, drawing the astonishment and shock of the various Immortal Kings present.

It was vaguely discernible that in that most terrifying Land of Calamity, besides the naturally released vital energy affecting the surrounding dark universes, from time to time, even more brilliant and world-shaking beams of light shot up, sweeping through the inauspicious land and clearing away the dense, foul qi that had existed for billions of years!

Finally, the Immortal Kings from all paths, and the old clan leaders from various races, all saw it. There was indeed an even more dazzling light tearing through the darkness, directly shattering some dark universes under its impact!

"It's like this even outside the battlefield?!"

The fist light carried immeasurable great power. Even a slight ripple of its residual might could be like this. It was utterly impossible to imagine how terrifying and astonishing the fist light at the center was; it was truly unfathomable.

At this moment, people sketched a blurry image in their minds.

There was a man, possessing world-shaking power, his vital energy surging like a torrent, engulfing the surrounding Great Thousand Universes. His black hair cascaded, his eyes flashed with cold lightning, standing tall against the heavens and earth, he was wielding invincible fist seals, suppressing the Strange Land of Calamity!

His fist light was immeasurable and unparalleled, world-beating and invincible. It swept through the upstream and downstream of the River of Time, suppressing the past, present, and future!

In fact, the next moment, people truly saw such a blurry figure. It resonated with all worlds, stood in the River of Time, suppressing the Strange Land of Calamity!

"Is that him?" The Dog Emperor's voice was hoarse with excitement, its fur stood on end, its entire body trembled, and its emotions fluctuated to the most intense degree.

The Corpse was likewise trembling, unable to resist roaring out loud.

Nine Dao One's expression was also strange, because he too had already guessed who it was!

"Two Senior Uncles, is that my master?!" At this moment, a bald man who hadn't appeared for a long time came running. He had appeared alongside the Corpse and the Dog Emperor during the Soul River battle. Now, his lips were trembling, and his excitement was palpable.

At this moment, everyone was shocked!

Because many Immortal Kings had guessed the identity of the man wielding fist seals in the Land of Calamity.

"Kill!"

Furthermore, at this moment, people heard a soft cry in their minds. It shook the worlds of the Heavens, causing large areas of the dark lands to shatter.

A single person stood in the Land of Calamity, moving with grand and open gestures, his fist seals invincible. He broke through the blockade of the End-of-Road beings there, pressing forward alone to kill.

Emperor Ye!

Someone couldn't help but murmur along. Although many years had passed, ordinary people no longer knew about those brilliant figures in the long river of history.

However, most of those present were Immortal Kings, and some were even old monsters who had lived since that era. At this moment, some couldn't help but tear up, and an old Immortal King wept.

Although they had no connection with Emperor Ye in that era and didn't know the Dog Emperor, being just youths in distant universes, in that era, no one didn't know the name of the Heavenly Emperor.

That era had long passed, and almost everyone from that time was buried in history. Only a handful of individuals remained, becoming symbols and markers of that era.

Today, upon seeing that invincible fist light and the world-beating man whose heroic bearing remained unchanged, the youth of yesteryear, now an old Immortal King, couldn't help but shed tears like rain.

There were a few others like him, all extremely ancient beings.

"Master, that's really my Master!" The bald man also let out a long wail, his face already soaked with tears. He had once again seen that familiar yet invincible figure.

Emperor Ye, the invincible powerhouse who rose during the Dharma-Ending Age amidst the epochal shifts, left behind too many legends and endless brilliance, illuminating the entire ancient history.

He was a figure who could shine in conjunction with "that one," a truly invincible Heavenly Emperor.

In countless eras, he was the supreme goal for latecomers. He was a majestic mountain on the path of evolution, an unsurpassable peak.

"Old Ye, it really is you! You're back, why didn't you come see me? If you hadn't appeared, I would have been severely injured and died of old age!" The Dog Emperor cried.

The Corpse also roared, "Ye Zi, Black, what's your situation? Why haven't you returned all this time?!"

Both he and the Dog Emperor had indirectly encountered Emperor Ye last time. They received the bronze emperor coffin he sent back and also saw his manifested figure.

However, afterward, they both realized that Emperor Ye's true body was likely in danger. They didn't know where he was, and couldn't be certain if he could reappear.

Today, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. That figure, whose vital energy surged to the heavens, was still as before, invincible above and below the heavens, having even fought his way into the Land of Calamity. Was he going to single-handedly eradicate the inauspicious ancestral land?!

Clearly, that figure was undivided, incomparably powerful, sweeping all the way, fighting towards the depths of the Land of Calamity. End-of-Road level blood surged before him, and opponents were sent flying backward!

A battle of unparalleled ages, a contest of supreme power. In the Heavens, everyone was shocked. They couldn't see the actual grand confrontation, but Nine Dao One could deduce some blurry scenes through the vast fist light and energy fluctuations. He simulated and displayed some scenes, which immediately left everyone stunned.

Fortunate in this life, to vaguely witness a grand confrontation of End-of-Road beings?!

"Ye Hei, kill him! Kill that Strange Immortal Emperor!" The Corpse roared.

"Master, you are forever invincible!" The bald man cried tears of joy.

The Dog Emperor clenched its large paw, whispering and murmuring, "I knew it, you were already invincible. Many eras ago, when I unknowingly received your gift from the River of Time, I understood: you already possessed the great power to suppress all enemies then!"

It had once promised Chu Feng that it could protect his relatives and friends, because it possessed the means of a Heavenly Emperor. While there might have been an element of exaggeration, it wasn't all false; many eras ago, it had indeed received gifts from Emperor Ye.

The Corpse also murmured, "The Chief Priest once said you couldn't return, that you would die far away, and that an End-of-Road Immortal Emperor would obstruct your path, not allowing you to advance an inch!"

"Now it seems, you are indeed still the same, your character unchanged, outwitting your enemies. I guess, back then, you actually achieved the Dao, dragging along that End-of-Road Immortal Emperor to temper yourself and understand the essence of strange beings. I think this is the truth!"

"Even if I'm wrong, it doesn't matter, but one thing is certain: the Immortal Emperor who obstructed your Grand Dao must have been killed by you; only then would you return!"

As he spoke, the Corpse roared with excitement.

Killing an Immortal Emperor—what a world-shaking feat, astonishing past and present! And it was still that person from back then, whose temperament was still a bit "dark" when facing enemies, and whose combat power remained invincible!

"Awoo..." The Dog Emperor couldn't help but let out a long howl.

The Immortal Kings present also roared with exhilaration.

"Everything is futile; the ultimate outcome is already determined!" A flat voice came from the depths of the Land of Calamity.

Someone blocked Emperor Ye, engaging in fierce combat with him. But in the end, that opponent, covered in strange blood, with half his body shattered, was sent flying, unable to halt the Heavenly Emperor's advance.

However, that terrifying End-of-Road being quickly attacked again. He said, "In this pure land, we are immortal, unmatched by anyone!"

The unfathomable battle erupted once more. Someone blocked Emperor Ye's path, engaging in a bloody fight with him.

Beings in the Heavens could not possibly observe a battle of that magnitude; they simply couldn't bear it.

Nine Dao One, by deducing from the residual energy fluctuations, roughly allowed people to understand what was happening; it was as if they saw two great powerhouses in a bloody battle.

Ultimately, the Great Thousand Worlds trembled, and parts of the dark universes directly disintegrated. The depths of the Land of Calamity also cracked, experiencing a terrifying grand destruction.

The blood of an End-of-Road being splattered as Emperor Ye used his fists to smash apart a Strange Immortal Emperor, blasting him into smithereens.

"I am the Heavenly Emperor; I shall suppress all enemies in the world!"

This voice resonated in the Land of Calamity, shaking numerous dark universes, and also reached the Heavens.

At this moment, whether it was the Dog Emperor, the Corpse, or the Immortal Kings who knew the Heavenly Emperor's past, all of them trembled with excitement, their eyes welling up with tears.

In a trance, they seemed to return to that brilliant grand era of the past. Back then, Emperor Ye had also spoken such words; he had quelled bloodshed and chaos, annihilating all great enemies.

Like a dream, after countless eras, people heard these words again; it was as if they had returned to that time, and he was still the same.

"We've already said, in this pure land, our race is immortal, eternally enduring. This is the foundation of our ability to sweep through all worlds and exterminate all enemy races; no one can leave alive."

A terrifying voice rang out; an End-of-Road enemy reappeared!

Not only that, but another being emerged from the depths of the Land of Calamity, joining the first to block Emperor Ye.

When they vaguely sensed all of this, everyone in the Heavens felt their hearts sink.

Then, yet another person emerged from the depths of the Land of Calamity. A total of three supreme beings stood in front, intending to kill Emperor Ye together!

At this level, there was no such thing as fighting above one's rank or easily winning when outnumbered. Beings who reached this realm were powerhouses who shook the past and present, protagonists of certain epochs. How much could one be inferior to another?

In this realm, even the invincible Emperor Ye could perhaps kill one, and maybe even fight two. But if he wanted to single-handedly kill three Strange Immortal Emperors, that was simply too difficult!

At this moment, the cultivators in the Heavens felt their hearts in their throats, filled with dread.

In this era, no one could fight alongside Emperor Ye. Who could help him share the pressure?

"You are strong, but what's the point? Now that you've found this place, you ultimately cannot escape your fate; everything is already predetermined."

An End-of-Road being spoke, utterly cold, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Another Strange Immortal Emperor also spoke, saying, "You might display the most powerful force of your life in this battle, like a spark burning the universe, illuminating the darkness. But your demise is ultimately inevitable. In that ultimate brilliant sublimation, you will return to eternal silence, like fireworks that vanish in an instant in the night. How many great heroes, even if they left indelible marks under the long sky of history, once endlessly brilliant, in the end were merely a flash in the pan, very brief, perishing at their most dazzling peak. The rise and fall of all things, eternal youth lies with us. As for you, there will always be a time for your curtain call. This is your destination."

As the Strange Immortal Emperor spoke those words, Emperor Ye remained silent, only stepping forward, fighting alone!

Suddenly, above the Strange Land of Calamity, the firmament largely disintegrated. A white-clad woman arrived, stepping through the sky, truly peerless in grace. She descended, ethereal yet formidable.

In her hand, she was actually carrying a head. This formed an extremely strong contrast with her pure white robes and an ethereal demeanor untouched by worldly affairs.

"The Chief Priest is dead?" In the Land of Calamity, a Strange Immortal Emperor's expression changed, and emotional fluctuations appeared.

"Bang!"

The Empress threw the head in her hand, and it transformed into a rain of light. It evaporated into the purest End-of-Road level energy aura, causing the Land of Calamity to rumble and largely crack, after which the head completely vanished.

"The Empress?!" In the Yang Realm, the Dog Emperor's eyes widened. Although it couldn't see directly, and could only understand the vague situation through Nine Dao One's indistinct perception, it was still shocked, then grinned, wanting to laugh out loud.

Who said there was no help? Who said no one in this world could fight alongside Emperor Ye?!

Even if the Empress had stepped onto that dead end, the "Death Bridge" from which there was supposedly no retreat or turning back, she had actually reversed and returned. That place couldn't block her or keep her. She killed the Chief Priest who had entangled with her last time, and directly returned!

"The Chief Priest of this epoch was killed?!" Even beings in the Land of Calamity were moved.

At the same time, some strange beings were puzzled: where did that Death Bridge lead? No one knew better than them that it was a place of certain death and sacrifice. Aside from their own strange race's faction, outsiders, once they set foot there, would find it impossible to return.

Outside the Heavens, there was the Sea of Sacrifice, a place where Immortal Emperors were sacrificed!

The Death Bridge the Empress stepped on led to the only grand altar deep within the Sea of Sacrifice. Anyone who ascended that ancient blood-colored altar was effectively a sacrifice, unable to return alive.

However, today, she had returned powerfully, and she was carrying the Chief Priest's head. Had she, instead, sacrificed him?

Immortal Emperors are immortal, and End-
